Chapter 852: Earth Killer
Tang Feng and the two bodyguards of the bear and the hyena did not stay long on Magava Island, if the hyena and the bear were two big beauties, maybe Tang Feng still had the mind to play some diving, sea fishing and other activities, the beauty is more eye-catching.
But what do you think of those two black things? Not much prettier than his sister's African Nile crocodile.
So the next day, the three of them returned to Rausara Island by boat. However, returning to Lausara Island did not have any impact on the transportation of the star core, and the two sea mud rare earth mines and the half of Tang Feng's newly discovered rare earth mines have been gathering in the sea area designated by Tang Feng under the control of the star core.
That's right, Tang Feng didn't wait for the two sea mud rare earth mines to finish moving before surveying the newly discovered sea mud rare earth mine, even if the newly discovered sea mud rare earth mine is only a part of it, but the reserves are enough for Tang's Anglo-American Group to mine for decades. As for how much rare earth ore is left, Tang Feng doesn't plan to consider moving it over, and the right to stay in that sea area should be a strategic reserve.
The five days passed quickly. During this period, Tang Feng was happily tight, and he had nothing to do during the day to play golf or dive, or take the sightseeing submarine on the island to the shallow sea to play. While having fun, the nuclear waste disposal base on the island also provides sufficient energy for the star core body, so there is no need for Tang Feng to worry about it, is there anything more comfortable than this in this world?
The newly transported rare earth ores were placed by Tang Feng in the seabed about 300 meters deep on the east side of Magava Island, covering a large area, but compared to the vast sea area, this 26.8 million tons of sea mud rare earth ore really does not occupy much space.
The sea depth of more than 300 meters is also quite easy for future mining. Coupled with the high concentration of this sea mud rare earth ore, the mining cost is even less than that of land mining.
In other words, from this day on, Tang's Anglo-American Group has another big killer in terms of mineral resources. In terms of the current scientific and technological development of human beings, rare earth resources are absolutely indispensable mineral resources, and only the value of this sea mud rare earth mine. According to the current price of rare earths, it will add hundreds of billions of dollars of assets to Tang
Of course, Tang Feng also knows very well that he has moved the sea mud rare earth mine that others regard as a strategic reserve, and if the authorities find out, then it will not make a fuss? Therefore, some necessary clean-up measures still have to be implemented.
For example, an undersea earthquake near Minamitorishima?
That's a good idea. After all, the two sea mud rare earth mines I discovered are both in the seabed at a depth of more than 5,000 meters, and Nantori Island itself is located in a relatively active sea area of earthquakes and submarine volcanoes.
"Huh? Minami Bird Island? Northwest Pacific Basin? Tang Feng was holding a large-scale topographic map of the Pacific Ocean. His gaze suddenly fell on a sea area about 600 kilometers north of Nantori Island, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
Minamitorishima Island is located in the basin of the Northwest Pacific Ocean, on the eastern side of the island chain of the Kuril Islands, the Japanese Islands, the Ogasawara Islands, and the Mariana Islands.
The Northwest Pacific Basin is the chain of islands mentioned above in the west and the chain of emperors and seamounts in the east. The former is a chain of islands exposed to sea level, while the latter is a chain of seamounts hidden below sea level. In between the two is the volatile Pacific Northwest.
In this vast expanse of sea. There is the deepest ocean trench in the world, the Mariana Trench; There is also Wake Island, which is known as the "stepping stone of the Pacific Ocean". And Minami Bird Island. It's about the same as Wake Island, a tiny island in this vast expanse of water.
However, in this sea area, there is also a existence known as the "killer of the earth", that is, the largest volcano on the earth and the second largest volcano in the solar system, the Great Tamu Volcano.
Many people think. The most formidable volcano on Earth is the Yellowstone volcano in the United States, and it seems that as soon as Yellowstone's supervolcano complex erupts, the earth will be destroyed. In fact, this perception is wrong, among other things, the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii alone is much larger than the Yellowstone volcano. Moreover, Mauna Loa is still an active volcano, unlike Yellowstone, which is a dormant volcano that only erupts once in more than 600,000 years.
And this large Tamu volcano in the Northwest Pacific basin is N times larger than Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano, how much is this N? 80!
The Great Tamu Volcano is the largest mountain in the Shatsky Uplift, the third largest undersea plateau on Earth, located in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, about 1,600 kilometers east of Tokyo, Japan. The summit of the large volcano is located at a depth of 2,000 meters and is an undersea volcano; The volcano is about 4,000 meters high, and the surrounding plain is about 6,000 meters deep; It covers an area of more than 300,000 square kilometers, and the maximum width of the circular dome is more than 650 kilometers. Formed about 145 million years ago and never erupted in recorded human history, the Great Tamu Volcano is an extinct volcano. The name of the volcano is derived from the abbreviation of Texas A&M University in the United States, in recognition of the university's contribution to the study of the Great Tamu Volcano.
The understanding of the Great Tamu volcano stems from the marine scientific investigation of the Shatsky uplift at the end of the 20th century. Previous studies have found that the Great Tamu Peak is caused by a volcanic eruption through a combination of geophysical experiments and ocean drilling core analysis, but considering such a large area of volcanic eruptions, it is generally believed that the Great Tamu Peak is a volcanic group, caused by a group of volcanoes.
However, in September 2013, by the American scientist William Brown. The Sino-American cooperative research team led by Dr. Sehgal obtained the detailed profile structure of the Great Tamu Volcano through multi-channel marine seismic exploration methods, and found that the Great Tamu Volcano has only one crater, which is a giant single shield-shaped volcano. At the time, it was estimated that its area was only about 20% less than that of Mars, which was considered to be the largest volcano in the solar system at the time, making the Great Tamu the largest volcano on Earth.
Some people may not understand this alone, but it is clear when you compare it. Yellowstone Volcano is a group of three volcanoes covering an area of only 8,000 square kilometers, while the Great Tamu Volcano covers an area of 310,000 square kilometers, which is about the size of Wyoming, where the Yellowstone volcano is located
According to scientists' calculations, the Great Tamu Volcano was formed about 145 million years ago, when the Great Tamu Volcano was formed, there was a super eruption here, and at that time it happened to break out the famous "Jurassic End Mass Extinction", when the total number of extinct organisms on the earth was between 10% and 20%, and this extinction event corresponded to the largest eruption of the Great Tamu Volcano.
Therefore, compared to the Great Tamu Volcano, the Yellowstone Volcano is really weakly exploded, and this volcano hidden deep below the horizon is the real killer of the earth (to be continued). )
